When my stepmom kicked me out of my room and into the shed, I thought I’d hit rock bottom. But Mom’s surprise visit and shocking revelation about the house turned everything upside down.

I arrived at Dad’s house feeling uneasy. Kim, my stepmom, greeted me with a fake smile. Inside, my stepbrothers Sam and Leo ignored me, glued to their new laptops— the same ones Dad said he couldn’t afford for me.

“Where’s Dad?” I asked. Kim’s response made my heart sink. “We need to talk about sleeping arrangements,” she said. They had given my room to the boys and set up a cot for me in the shed. I was devastated.

The next morning, my mom called and saw my situation. Furious, she came over and revealed a shocking truth: “This house belongs to Michelle.” Dad had put the house in my name after the divorce.

Mom demanded changes, ensuring my room was mine again. Dad, realizing his mistakes, promised to make things right. With Mom’s support, I knew I had people in my corner. The future looked hopeful.
